Choosing Between My Hot Stepbrother Or His Rival My Bestfriend - Chapter 43: Chapter 43

Taylor Anderson
I have been pacing around in the living room with my eyes always darting at the wall clock, I've also called Liam so many times but he's not picking up his calls, at this point I'm so confused that I don't know what to do, I know I was not supposed to be worried I mean we are nothing to each other but for some reasons I still cannot forget the look he gave me this afternoon it was a deadly look filled with so many emotions and I can't help but want to tell him that everything was a misunderstanding I really want him to know the truth.
I suddenly heard the creaking sound of the door and my heart skipped immediately as I saw Liam walked in through the door, but he wasn't looking friendly in fact he was looking so dangerous and the looks he was giving me was showing so many things I cannot decipher, I know he's trying to scare me, but I cannot keep quiet and allow him have the wrong impression of me.
As he was about to climb the stairs, I blocked his, he slowly looked up to meet my gaze
“Move” Was the only word he uttered
“I will, but that will be after explaining myself” I said to him and he turned like he want to leave the house, and I immediately grabbed his hand
“Liam, I know you're having a lot of thoughts in your head but we lived in the same house for years. Don't you know what I'm capable of doing?”
When I didn't hear any reply from him I proceeded,
“I was crying in the basketball court when I noticed there was someone else there, I didn't come there and met him besides as soon as I saw him I was trying to run away and then was about to fall when he grabbed my waist and helped me, he was only helping me that's all” I concluded hoping he understood my point, but then he gently pulled my hand away from his and turned to make his way back upstairs
“Hey can you say something, I just told you everything that happened” I said to him, feeling so nervous already cause at this point I don't know what to do or what to think.
He sighed and waggled his tongue like he normally does whenever his angry,
“We are nothing to each other so why are you explaining all of these to me?”
“Because the look you gave me this afternoon was so bad and you even yelled at me” I pouted, looking at him as my eyes became watery and my tears were closed to dropping, I was tired, I couldn't hold back much longer as they ended up dropping and I bursted out in tears
“I’ve been calling you but you never picked you call, I haven't eaten since today all because of you, I hate you so much, I fucking hate you…..”
“Come here, you little manipulator” He said with a smile and pulled me into his arms but I refuse hugging him as I hit his broad chest, with my tiny hand, and rant like a baby
“It's all your fault, you keep making me cry, I fucking hate you I hate you” I continued hitting his chest, until I was tired, I wrapped my arms around him while he hugged me so tight,
“I'm sorry I made you cry, I'm so sorry Bambi”
I slowly look up at him and pouted,
“What did you just call me?”
“Did you like it?”
“Hmmm” I nod with a smile,
“It's better than little devil and Shorty that's you call me”
“Come on, those two names make you look cute, don't you know?”
“Hmmm….” I shook my head, I yawn tiredly and hugged him
“I'm tired and sleepy, I've been crying the whole day and it's your fault
“Jump” He muttered at first I thought I didn't hear him but when he repeated it, I looked at him
“I'll carry you upstairs”
My heart melted immediately and I didn't know when I jumped and wrapped my legs around his torso, his hands rested perfectly on my tiny slender waist
“Little devil” He called and I frown
“I thought you stopped calling me that name?”
“I said it's cute, I never said I'm going to stop calling you that”
“Come on Liam” I whined like a baby, he he began to carry me upstairs,
“I want to ask you something” He said as his face suddenly became serious
“Mm, you can ask me”
We already got to my room and he opened the door with one hand,
“It's about Kelly”
“Kelly? I thought you wanted to ask me about Desmond?”
“Nhhh the idiot is not worth the attention”
“Ohh, so what do you want to ask me?”
“Kelly, so you love him?”
“Why are you suddenly asking that?” I gulped nervously as he laid me down on the bed and sat beside me
“If you don't love him then why are you dating him?”
“He's helping me”
“Helping you? With what?”
“I can't tell you”
“You really won't tell me?”
“Hmmm” I nod
“I'll tell you the person whose name is tattooed on my body is if you tell me why you're dating Kelly”
I was suddenly tempted to know who the girl he loved is, I was tempted to know if she's prettier than me, I was tempted to know if there's something special about her and why he loved her so much, but then even if I know that what gain do I have, he already loved her and I stand no chance”
“You already loved her, it's pointless knowing who she is, but does she know that you love her this much?” I asked, he stared into my eyes like he's searching for an answer,
“No, she's so fucking clueless that it gets me mad sometimes and drives me insane”
“Really? Maybe she hasn't seen your tattoos of her name”
“She has, but her overthinking will not allow her see the truth”
“Do you feel bad that she hasn't noticed all the signs you're showing her?”
“Of course and I'm going to fucking punish her when the time is right”
I touched his shoulder and patted it
“Liam I understand how it feels like to love someone and they don't love you back, do you need me to talk to her for you, I can” I assured him, he smiled shifted closer making me nervous as he brought his face closer, staring right into my eyes
“Can you?” He asked and lift my jaw with his index finger, as we both gaze and explore each other's eyes
“Hmmm”
“How can you talk to her, when you're the most wanted person in the world for being clueless?”
“Wanted?” I scoff,
“I'm not that clueless”
“Oh really, please prove me wrong Shorty”
“Stop calling me that!” I grabbed my pillow and threw at him,
“You're clueless!” He teased me more
“I'm not!”
“You're!”
“I'm not!”
“Liam…..!” I yelled and grabbed my hairpin to chase after him, I was so close to catching him but he ran out immediately, shutting the door from the outside
“Liam………!!!!!”
